There are expectations for your postings (a good thing for students) Ticatock (create and produce books) Webooks (create and publish) Wikibooks (can read and edit books)
Ning- social networking tool, password protected, teacher can create and invite students in. Like Facebook/MySpace. Students can learn to interact appropriately online AWESOME!
Went over other things like wikispaces, googledocs, and podcasting. For these things, we seem to have better resources than the ones they are showing us.
